Bennett Jones LLPVancouver, British Columbia

Bennett Jones LLP is an internationally recognized Canadian law firm focused on the principles of excellence, integrity, respect and independent thought. We have 5 offices in Canada, one in Doha, one in Washington, U.S.A., and a representative office in China. Recognizing the strategic importance of British Columbia to the nation and as a gateway to Asia and to leverage off our core strengths in energy, natural resources, infrastructure and technology, Bennett Jones opened our Vancouver office in 2014. We recently merged with McCullough O'Connor Irwin LLP, a highly regarded Vancouver boutique firm known as a leader in corporate finance, private equity and funds. Together with our existing and very successful Vancouver team, they will help us better serve our clients in British Columbia, across Canada and internationally. We currently have over 40 legal professionals in the office and have plans for continued strategic growth in key practices and industries that support and complement our firm's core strengths.

We take student recruitment seriously and take a forward looking approach to the process - when we recruit, we are hiring and developing future leaders in the profession. We provide our students and lawyers with the opportunity to do top-notch legal work in a team environment and promote a culture of sustained excellence through strong personal commitment and on-going professional development through our own Bennett Jones Academy.

Among our accolades, we are particularly proud that, for 16 consecutive years, Bennett Jones has been ranked as one of the top 50 places to work in Canada and in 2018 was recognized again as a Top Employer for Young People for the 6th consecutive year.
